An AOD can refer to different things depending on the context. Here are some possible meanings:

• Always-on display: An always-on display is a smartphone feature that allows the device to show limited information while the phone is asleep. It is widely available on Android handsets and is available on Apple iPhones since the iPhone 14 Pro. A device with AOD enabled keeps a limited portion of the screen on during sleep mode, displaying information such as the time, date, and battery status of the device. It may also show various types of notifications as they arrive or screensavers. An AOD can be customized in many app-based implementations to only show notifications or selectively choose what is shown. Scheduled on/off times can also be set.

• Alcohol and Other Drugs: AOD strictly refers to the use of any form of alcohol or other drugs. When considering media coverage of AOD, this specifically refers to any form of coverage ranging from fictional to non-fictional portrayals of individuals or groups either using or being affected by some form of alcohol and other drugs in all forms of media. This includes depictions or portrayals communicated via print, online television, and social media, as well as any general references of AOD in terms of wider reporting. Public attitudes towards AOD use can have a significant impact on the course and trajectory of AOD use disorders, including help-seeking behavior.

• Automatic Overdrive: AOD is Fords first four-speed automatic transmission. It is a type of automatic transmission that has an overdrive gear, which allows the engine to run at a lower RPM while cruising at high speeds. This can improve fuel efficiency and reduce engine wear.

In summary, AOD can refer to an always-on display feature on smartphones, alcohol and other drugs, or an automatic overdrive transmission.
